Nationwide Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) Vaccine Attorney

Have You or a Loved One Suffered From GBS? Contact Us

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) can be triggered by infections or immunizations. The influenza vaccination has been associated with an increased risk of GBS. Following a vaccination, an autoimmune response occurs which affects the peripheral nervous system. GBS can present with a variety of neurological symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and weakness. The myelin portion of the nerves is affected by the inflammation resulting in motor dysfunction. Cases have been reported following administration of influenza, Hepatitis B, MMR, HPV, Varicella, and Meningococcal vaccinations.

GBS is considered a rare disease. Nevertheless, there are approximately 3,000 to 6,000 individuals who are afflicted by GBS each year, according to the CDC. GBS can result in permanent leg or arm weakness and paralysis. GBS can result in death.

What Vaccines Lead to GBS?

Guillain-Barré syndrome can stem from many different medical conditions. Patients often do not recognize the symptoms right away, as it can take up to several weeks after the vaccination for the symptoms to surface.

These are some of the most commonly reported vaccines that have led to GBS:

Patients who develop GBS often face a long recovery. While GBS is treatable, the time and effort it takes to heal varies greatly. If after a vaccination you begin feeling the symptoms of GBS, do not hesitate to seek medical attention. Our role is to help you determine whether or not your illness stemmed from a reaction to a vaccine.

What Causes Guillain-Barré Syndrome?

Scientists are not sure what causes Guillain-Barré, but they do know the disease is not contagious. When GBS is triggered in a patient, their immune system begins to attack itself. The immune system attacks the myelin sheath that surrounds the axons of peripheral nerves as well as the axons themselves.

The myelin sheath is responsible for the transmission of nerve signals. When myelin sheath is injured or broken the nerves are unable to transmit signals efficiently. This is why the muscles begin to lose their ability to respond to the brain’s signals. The nerve network is a two-way street meaning, the patient may lose the ability to respond to other sensations like heat, pain, or extreme cold.

How is Guillain-Barré Syndrome treated?

GBS does not currently have a cure but there are treatments to help patients recover. The two most common therapies available to patients are plasma exchange and high-dose immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy. The critical aspect of both therapy plans is to keep the patient’s body working during recovery. Some patients must be placed on ventilator assistance to ensure they are able to breathe.

FAQ

Common Answers To Your Questions

Have questions? We are here to help. Still have questions or can't find the answer you need? Give us a call at 888-891-2816 today!

  • How Can I Get Help After a Vaccine Injury?

    The Vaccine Injury Compensation Act established the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This Act covers cases involving 17 different vaccines as indicated on the “Types of Vaccines” tab of our website.  

    Assuming that the vaccine that caused your injury or illness is covered by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Act, you have come to the right place. 

    Experienced vaccine attorneys, such as those in our law firm, will gather the medical documentation and vaccine administration record necessary to complete a Petition for filing in the United States Court of Federal Claims (USCFC). Additionally, we will attempt to answer all of your questions during this process.

  • Do I have a Case for Damages?

    Our law firm will advise you whether you have a case. It depends upon the type of vaccination you received, the timing of the adverse reaction, your current diagnosis, and whether you have achieved recovery. In complicated cases, an expert medical opinion will be necessary to determine the viability of a case.

  • What Can I Get From a Vaccine Claim?

    The compensation under the law includes pain and suffering, loss of earnings, reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses (not reimbursed by insurance), as well as past and future life care plan costs including attendant care, home modifications, and adaptive devices as required. Additionally, no attorney’s fees or cost are charged to the injured party (Petitioner).

  • What Vaccines Are Covered by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program?

    Diphtheria, Tetanus, Flu (Influenza), Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR), Meningococcal, Pneumococcal, Polio, Rotavirus, and Varicella (Chickenpox).

    For more information on vaccines included under the VICP, visit our page on Vaccines covered by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).

  • What is a Vaccine Injury?

    Vaccine injuries refer to any adverse events that are caused by avaccination. For instance, a vaccine injury can be caused by the wrongful administration of a vaccine. Alternatively, an autoimmune response to the ingredients of the vaccine may cause an adverse event. These types of adverse reactions are rare, but at times painful or quite serious and potentially even catastrophic.

  • How Does the Vaccine Injury Compensation and Settlement Process Work?

    The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is designed to compensate individuals who experience a vaccine caused injury or illness. 

    A Petition must be filed within three years after the onset of the symptoms attributed to the vaccination or two years within a death caused by a vaccination. 

    Once a Petition (claim) is filed, it undergoes evaluation by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Respondent) and their attorneys from the Vaccine Division. The Court may require expert reports after which the case may be set for trial or settled.

    If this case is won or settled, then an injured Petitioner may be entitled to pain and suffering, reimbursement of medical expenses, past and future lost wages, a life care plan funded annuity to cover future medical expenses such as attendant care and home modifications, and in rare cases a wrongful death benefit.
